The Orioles and Twins split a doubleheader, the Twins winning the opener, 8-7, in 11 innings, and the Orioles taking the nightcap, 12-5, as Steve Stone received credit for his 13th straight victory. In the first game, the score was 7-7 when John Castino led off the bottom of the 11th with a single and reached third on a one-out single by Butch Wynegar. After Dave Edwards flied out, Pete Mackanin laced a single off third baseman Doug DeCinces' glove to plate the winning tally.

In the second contest, Dan Graham drove in six runs, including a bases-loaded homer in a five-run fourth inning. The Birds' catcher had a two-run single and Eddie Murray contributed a three-run homer in the six-run sixth. [The Sporting News]
